Report Summary
With the recovery of the global economy, the advanced material industry ushers in rare development opportunities. On the one hand, the growth of the global IT, energy, and machinery manufacturing industries fuel the growth of market demand for advanced materials; on the other hand, considering the growing importance of advanced materials in global science and technology competition, governments and research institutions in developed countries such as the U.S. and Japan, and developing countries like China, India and Brazil have put more funds into the research and development of advanced materials. In the background of economic globalization, the trend of globalization is looming large in the development, production and sales of products in the advanced material industry.
Expediting the development of the advanced material industry and improving industry competitiveness becomes an important part of the national sustainable development strategy. The Chinese Government always attaches great importance to the development and industrialization of advanced material technology, providing important efforts in various national programs. Meanwhile, national policies and funds lead large amounts of capital in the society to invest in the advanced material industry. At present, the building of China advanced material industry bases is accelerating. The bases make great efforts to feature material industries, giving a strong boost to China advanced material industry.
China has become a global manufacturing base. Upstream segments in the advanced material industry, such as chemical, energy, building materials, machinery, and IT, are experiencing rapid development. With excellent product performance and wide application fields, advanced materials see fast-growing market demand. Advanced materials have become a fundamental industry bolstering China manufacturing sector. On the whole, China advanced material industry develops rapidly, with steady growth in industry size; the variety of materials is growing, with slight ups and downs in product structure; thanks to policy and financial support, the development environment is gradually improving; the building of the industry bases has accelerated, and regional features are taking shape. Nonetheless, poor scientific research and innovation capability, excessively low product level, lack of key technologies, imperfect production process, and the susceptibility of material price to market supply and demand still affect the development of China advanced material industry.
In the face of pressure of resources and environment, China advanced material industry must change the traditional road of high input, high consumption, high pollution, and low profit. Revamping product structure and increasing the percentage of environmentally friendly materials in development and application is an urgent task in China advanced material industry. Enterprises should bear in mind the awareness of ecological environment in product and process design, to take a path that suits China actualities while drawing on foreign experience, to improve the utilization efficiency of resources and energy sources in the advanced material industry, and reduce environmental pollution in manufacturing process.
In the field of advanced materials, how to grasp the industry size and competition situation, how to draw upon foreign experience, how to discern the industry development trend, and how to tap investment opportunities and seize opportunities early are important questions faced by numerous enterprises involved in this field.
